Israel Attacked From Saudi Arabia

A cyber attack that is, and it looks like a very successful first strike. From USA Today:

A hacker network that claims to be based in Saudi Arabia paralyzed the websites of Israel’s stock exchange and national airline on Monday, escalating an international cyber war that has jolted this security-obsessed country.

The question now becomes who will the US side with Israel, that offers nothing other Mossad agents corrupting US politics and a multi-billion dollar drain on the US treasury and Saudi Arabia that offers oil.
Not only is Israel of no real benefit they are an enormous multi-billion dollar loss.
